Hi Susie and welcome to planDisney!
MagicBands are such a fun way to add a little extra magic to any Walt Disney World vacation. They are so convenient since they act as your
Disney Resort hotel room key, your
theme park admission, your way of charging for food and merchandise and much more! It's easier to just tap your wrist instead of digging out multiple cards throughout the day.
The new
MagicBand+ is such a welcome addition to the world of bands! My kids love to see their wrists light up and dance during the
fireworks shows in the evening or feel that little buzz when they walk past one of the
Fab 50 Character Collection statues. It really does add an extra element of magic that Disney is so famous for.
One of the fun parts of having a MagicBand is being able to pick out a design that's perfect for you. Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel have the option to purchase discounted MagicBands in advance of their trip, which is awesome! I can tell you for certain that the selection does change. I just took a peek at what is available for my upcoming trip and it is different than what was available last week. I'm unsure how often it changes, but it's worth taking a look daily if you're waiting for something specific to be added. I would like to note that if you wait, a certain one that you may have wanted for another family member may not be there if a princess or other design your daughter might like is added.
Please stop back by if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
